Komrade Biden is at it again:
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America.
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

I'm not even sure where to begin with all the things that are wrong with these statements.
I suppose a good place to start would be: "We want to take money" . On its own, that is alarming if not dastardly, but when you read the next line:
"and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people", you see the truly frightening nature of how these socialists think.
Aside from the obvious desire for government mandated redistribution of wealth, I find another part of this statement disturbing. Its just one simple word, but it reveals a fatal flaw in their thinking: "and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people". Putting it back infers that it was taken from them in the first place. As if there were some finite pool of wealth from which we can all draw equally, and the evil rich have taken more than their fair share and hoarded it, somehow depriving some poor soul of prosperity that was rightfully theirs. The problem is that it is an un-truth. Wealth is not a finite resource. Komrade Biden might as well have just come out and said: "From each according to his ability and To each according to his need"
Next, he infers that paying more taxes to the Federal government is the patriotic thing to do. ARE YOU KIDDING?!?! He's not even trying to hide the communism. I wonder what the founding fathers would have to say about that. **Edit** A Right Brainer has an excellent post that sums it up well. **EDIT**
"Time to jump in, Time to be part of the deal"?!?! So the fact that 95% of the taxes are paid by the top 10 percent of earners isn't enough?
McCain should play ads with this clip every day until the election.
